DigaStudio: Functional Specification

Page 11 of 14

Special function: TIME STAMP (

¿

) - allows the storing of the current time in the interface unit for later

processing by the PC software. The time stamps can be printed out or converted to markers for the
editing software (e.g. to find specific passages in a recording which was run in the background).

PC control

By connecting a PC to the interface / signal processing unit, any function can be controlled remotely by
the PC software. Mainly, this is used for configuration purposes and for execution of more complex
functions not available through the control pad (i.e. filters, insert/effect settings etc.). Also, user profiles
can be saved and restored this way, as well as updates of operating or DSP software.

Some examples of functions available through the PC interface:

 

Input sensitivity for each source

 

Filter: on/off, filter parameter, graphical frequency display

 

Limiter: limiter parameters

 

Control of inserts/effects

 

selection of L+R, L or R

 

phase inversion for a channel

 

Saving and loading of user-profiles by means of the PC

 

Configuration of GPIOs

 

Configuration of key assignments

 

Download and storing of the operating system software (non-volatile)

The connection to the PC is performed by means of a special protocol, based on the RS-422 interface.
By using the supplied communication driver any applications (i.e. other manufacturer´s editing
software) can communicate with the DigaStudio.
